Dare I Say
by Ken HarnischDare I say I want to hold you again?
Not to your face and not so boldly
I think
Until I get the feeling
You need to be held
You will tell me if the day
Ever comes;
I’ll be there shortly afterwards;
We are both so sure of this
We go on living
Our rattling, restless lives
With that being
One of its few eternal verities.
